Patent CA-2541217-A1 (CA)
Title: Stent reducing system
Inventor: LARSON KAREN
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2004-11-17
Abstract: A system for reducing the diameter of a stent comprises a stent contracting assembly and a fluid source. The assembly comprises a plurality of contracting (12) members that define a diameter reduction chamber (14) for receiving a stent. When the chamber is in a pre-reduction configuration the stent has a first diameter and when the chamber is in a reduced configuration the stent has a second diameter. The second diameter is less than the first diameter.  The fluid source (20) is in fluid communication with the chamber and is constructed and arranged to inject a fluid therein. The fluid forms a fluid bearing between the contracting members and the stent which prevents the contracting members from contacting the stent in the reduced diameter configuration.

Title: System including run-time software to enable a software application to execute on an incompatible computer platform
Inventor: MACDONALD CRAIG
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2006-04-27
Abstract: This invention discloses a system for enabling a first software application, which is designed for execution on a first computer platform, to be executed on an incompatible computer platform in which the software application is not intended to execute. A first group of files that are distributed with or are specific to the first software application intended to run on the first computer platform are preferably isolated from other software applications by way of being capsule or encapsulated so as to provide an isolated first group of files;  capsule runtime software manages a dynamic state and file location of the isolated first group of files and includes capsule runtime software including a kernel module and application libraries for modifying the behavior of the local operating system residing on the incompatible computer platform, so that execution of the first software application requires access of the isolated first group of files in place of operating system files and providing capsule specific values instead of values related to the identity of the incompatible computer platform.

Title: Wireless communication method and apparatus for performing post-detection constellation correction
Inventor: PIETRASKI PHILIP J
IPC: H04L5/12
Filed: 2004-11-05
Abstract: A method and apparatus for correcting the phase and gain of data associated with a constellation pattern of a plurality of received individual symbols.  Each symbol is divided into real and imaginary symbol components. The signs of the real and imaginary symbol components of each symbol are determined and used as a basis for determining whether the symbol is associated with a first or third quadrant of the constellation pattern or a second or fourth quadrant of the constellation pattern. The absolute values of the real and imaginary symbol components are determined and used to create a first sum and a second sum. A phase adjustment value ? and a gain adjustment value G are derived from the first and second sums, and are used to create a complex number. Each of the received individual symbols is multiplied by the created complex number to provide corrected constellation pattern data.

Filed: 2005-02-14
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of increasing neural stem cell numbers or neurogenesis by using a pheromone, a luteinizing hormone (LH) and/or a human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). The method can be practiced in vivo to obtain more neural stem cells in situ, which can in turn produce more neurons or glial cells to compensate for lost or dysfunctional neural cells. The method can also be practiced in vitro to produce a large number of neural stem cells in culture. The cultured stem cells can be used, for example, for transplantation treatment of patients or animals suffering from or suspected of having neurodegenerative diseases or conditions.

Patent CA-2560037-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VU KY M
IPC: G05B11/01
Filed: 2006-09-18
Abstract: Two linear quadratic tracking controllers and a minimal prototype controller are presented for the control of a discrete single input and single output (SISO) tracking control system. The minimal prototype controller is an unconstrained controller.  Depending on the models of the set point and the plant transfer function, this controller might be desirable. But usually one would choose one of the two linear quadratic controllers which minimize the sum of squared errors between the output and the set point variables with a penalty on that of the input variable. The one degree of freedom (1-DOF) controller performs well, but for nonminimum phase systems the two and a half degrees of freedom (2.5-DOF) controller is the stronger one as it can suppress the inverse response of a non-minimum phase system. The 1-DOF controller gives the stochastic regulating controller counterpart known as the linear quadratic Gaussian controller. A digital control chip for implementation of the controllers is also disclosed.

Title: Pre-tensioned spring track tensioning system
Inventor: LARSON EDWARD
IPC: B62D55/30
Filed: 2005-03-25
Abstract: A pretensioned spring track loading assembly (30) provides a two stage loading of a tensioning roller (28) on the interior of a vehicle drive track (20) The two stage loading first loads the track (20) under a lower tension load for normal operation, but when the track (20) is highly loaded such as when digging, or when debris is forced between the track (20) and its drive sprocket (18) or guide rollers (26), the compression of the light rate spring (54) will be stopped mechanically and a second heavier compression spring (64) will provide the loading on tension roller (28) . The additional spring tension under unusual conditions prevents detracking of the track (20) and buckling of the track (20). A lighter tension load on tension roller (28) during normal operations reduces the loads on bearings, particularly in relation to a drive motor (16) . The tension loading assembly has particular adaptability to "high" drive type tracks (20) which have a drive sprocket (18) elevated above the tension roller (28).

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the transdermal delivery of substances and, in some embodiments, to the transdermal delivery of beneficial substances by a hostile biophysical environment. In one aspect, various methods for the transdermal delivery of beneficial substances are disclosed. By creating a hostile biophysical environment, beneficial substances may be delivered, according to certain embodiments, through the stratum corneum of the skin into the body. Beneficial substances include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutical agents, drugs, vitamins, co-factors, peptides, dietary supplements, and others. The beneficial effects disclosed include, for instance, relief of pain and inflammation, prevention and healing of ulcers of the skin, relief of headache, improved sexual function and enjoyment, growth of hair on the scalp, improving muscle size and/or function, removing body fat and/or cellulite, treating cancer, treating viral infections and others. A hostile biophysical environment may also be used in conjunction with systems and methods for increasing local blood flow, according to one set of embodiments. For example, by using a nitric oxide donor such as L-arginine, local blood flow may be increased, e.g., by transdermally delivering the nitric oxide precursor. The nitric oxide donor may be the sole cause of increased blood flow, or it may be supplemented with an adjunct such as theophylline.
